I'll update this first post each day with the forecast (though I'll occasionally miss a day), both long and short term. As a general rule, up to 7 days is a pretty accurate forecast, beyond that it's educated guessing and largely dependent upon how well the models are doing at that moment, which is why I call it "voodooland." If you have any specific weather questions or comments, even if it's for an area other than WDW, please post and I'll answer throughout the thread. I'll also post weather tidbits every so often. If you want to see the exact conditions for your travel dates over the last few years, go to our historic weather page in Info Central here (http://www.intercot.com/infocentral/weather/dailytemps.asp). Without further delay, let's get to the forecast:
Weather at WDW - Update Thursday pm, October 31, 2013
:jack::ghost:Happy Halloween!:bat::mpumpkin:
It looks like a great day for Trick or Treating at WDW with a high around 84. Tomorrow should also be pretty nice with a high around 85 and a slight chance of a stray shower. Saturday look for showers and thunderstorms in the morning, and maybe into early afternoon. Things should begin to clear out by late afternoon and evening. The high will be 77-79. Sunday will be clear with a high 75-77. Monday should be around 80 and clear. Tuesday and Wednesday will be clear with highs 83-85. Thursday should also be around 85, though there's a chance of a brief shower.
Long range...Nov 8 showers are possible with a front moving through, but it doesn't look like a major rain event. Nov 9-14 looks mostly rain free, only a slim chance of a pop up shower, with highs in the low to mid 80s. A strong front moves in with thunderstorms on Nov 15. Nov 16 looks clear and cool with a high in the low 70s.
Travel Impact :plane: :truck: :drive:
The SPC has just issued a tornado watch until 7 pm for much of southern and central Mississippi and eastern Louisiana. This watch comes all the way east to the Alabama state line. Over the last few hours, numerous severe storms have been occurring across Louisiana and Mississippi. There have been quite a few tornado warnings with this activity.
For tomorrow, the storm system will continue to move east and delays are possible all along the east coast from Atlanta to Boston.
Any of you who are nervous about flying, especially related to turbulence, go here (http://www.sfgate.com/travel/article/Turbulent-air-travel-nothing-to-fear-4058671.php) and here (http://www.askcaptainlim.com/-fear-of-flying-flying-48.html) to learn a lot about turbulence and other issues that sometimes cause anxiety when flying. Hopefully all of this will help you relax and enjoy the trip to WDW more!
Tropics :fan:
All is quiet across the vast Atlantic basin, and tropical storm formation is not expected any time soon. Cooler sea surface temperatures over the northern Gulf really mean the Florida Gulf season is done; anything that forms in November would be out in the deep tropics.
